Jake Paul believes his boxing skills are superior to those of Anthony Joshua, former heavyweight world champion, and he will prove it this Friday, December 19, when they step into the ring at the Kaseya Center in Miami.

In a video posted on the Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) YouTube channel, Paul stated that Joshua is a basic and powerful fighter, but that he doesn't have many Skills.

“Weight isn’t going to make the difference; what’s going to win this fight is skills. And I think my skills are better than his, which might sound crazy to say, but he’s a very basic fighter and has gotten where he is only because of his size and power,” he said.

“Skills are what’s going to win this fight, and he already saw that with Usyk when he fought him. So I think it’s going to be very similar to that,” he added.

Remember that the fight between Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul will be an official bout and will be contested in the heavyweight division. The bout will last eight rounds—each three minutes long—with 10-ounce gloves, and will be streamed worldwide on Netflix. The YouTuber-turned-boxer had planned to fight Gervonta Davis on November 14th, but because 'Tank' was recently accused by his ex-girlfriend Courtney Rossel of assault, kidnapping, and false imprisonment, the fight was canceled. Paul expressed his anger over what happened and assured everyone he would find an opponent soon. To everyone's surprise, the influencer chose Joshua, and most sports experts predict the Briton should win easily by knockout. However, some experts, like Tyson Fury, see the American fighter as having a chance. Jake Paul, 27, has five wins after suffering his first loss to Tommy Fury by split decision, brother of heavyweight champion Tyson Fury. The American YouTuber also has a record of 12 wins (six by knockout) and one loss. Anthony Joshua, 36, was knocked out in his last fight against Daniel Dubois last September.The British WBA lightweight regular has a record of 28 wins, 25 of them by knockout, and four losses.
